I've got all 3 of the Movie Leader Class figures, and IMO i think Brawl is by far the best of the 3. I've enjoyed him greatly, and he is an all around awesome figure. Anyone else that has leader class brawl agree with me? If not what is your favorite Movie Leader Class?

I did think that when I first got Brawl, but the annoying automorph issues subtract him points. His transformation is almost great. His arms are kind of annoying to put away.

He does look better in bot mode though. All of those gun are just great.

I put him almost even with Prime. Prime is just solid, all around. One of the best transformations EVER.

I STILL haven't had time to open either my LB or my LOP so I'm not sure which one I'm going to like better. I like the looks of LB better but I have the feeling the lack of ball joint feet and the leg kibble are going to push LOP to the top of the list for me.

Its got to be Leader Class Prime. he's just so cool.

LOP's ball joint feet are quite awesome. The pain in the butt for him ... he is very poseable, but tough to balance. You can pose the crap out of him, but figuring out how to keep him from toppling over leads to many compromises.

I've got both, and while Brawl is awesome and menacing as a bot, his "arms must be exact" transformation is kinda annoying.

Leader Prime on the other hand is just goodness personified.......................with flames.

I prefer Leader Prime compared to Brawl.

Given his awkward back design, I can see how this is going to be a problem.

Agreed, though he's the first Transformer I bought since 1988/89 (Fangry) so he gets a special place in my heart.

I just love how Prime has wings. The front sides of the truck standing up behind him is just so badass. And that they click into place is even cooler.

Brawl is awesome no doubt. But he didn't produce that 'Wow' factor that Prime did out of the box. Hell just Primes feet alone made me go, "damn now that is neat!"

Whereas Brawl had me going, "Why the PH**K won't his arms stay and why do the sides keep flapping and springing open and for gawds sake STFU with all your sound effects!!"

so it was a much different experience between the 2 for me.

Remarkable how Prime only has one sound and lights effect in robot mode (technically he doesn't, it's just the final trnasformation) and one weapon, yet Brawl is still lesser even with his huge arsenal and multiple sound effects and lights.

quantity doesn't mean quality

Agreed. But it is possible to have quantity and quality.

yes, if you find an overweight hooker with insane skills.

Really? Leader Prime hard to balance? Maybe yours has a bad ball joint. Mine can balance the best out of my whole TF collection. The ball joints ankle are very sturdy and tight, as if suppoerted by springs. Stands better than all my BTs and MPs. Can't even knock it down unless I force it to.

Brawl all the way. Prime just has to much kibble arounfd the legs and isn't as possable.

Movie Leader Prime is Great compare to Brawl. But my all time Fav Leader Class would be RID Fire Convoy.

Agreed. I've got pics of mine doing a high kick and balancing on one leg with his arms up in the air.

And I agree with others who say Prime is the better of the two. When I opened my first LP, I had a "wow" attitude that someone could actually design something like this and it work so well.


My Brawl's quality is suspect, and he's forever silenced as I took his batteries out in anger.

Totally agree with you. Prime has too much kibble. It's almost like dude's sportin' a backpack on the way to college or something. Brawl is awesome as Leader class and I can't find anything about him to complain about. This newer version of Brawl kicks so much ass over the deluxe version. In this case, bigger is better!

Ageed. It is overhyped.
